The Walt Disney Co. earnings destroy the previous opening record set by "
Jurassic World," which drew $208.8 million this summer.

J.J. Abrams' seventh chapter in
George Lucas' space saga.
Almost a galaxy away, the animated "
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip" came in second with $14.4 million
In third place, the
Tina Fey and
Amy Poehler comedy "
Sisters" earned an estimated $13.42 million in its opening weekend. A whopping 79 percent of audiences were female for the R-rated comedy.
